I'm not sure he'd be a good owner, but who knows?

If you didn't make it past the first few series of Sunday night's Hall of Fame Game, you're forgiven. Even with the return of football, preseason action can be a bit hit-or-miss once the first-teamers are off the field.

But if you did tune out early — or failed to tune in at all — you missed a pretty interesting little nugget from NBC announcer Al Michaels, who passed on a conversation he had with prospective Buffalo Bills owner Donald Trump.

“He said he offered $1 billion — all cash, no contingencies, immediate closing. He’d have the check in one hour,” Michaels said, per Pro Football Talk. “He was a little miffed that it went out for bid again.”

Agreed. He has no intention of buying the Bills. From what I've read, Trump grossly exaggerates his actual net worth. Chances are that he's not even a true billionaire.

The NFL has to approve it anyway. They look in to finances with a fine tooth comb to see if he has the cash.

He has a reputation of being unethical in business. The NFL wouldn't really want to sell to someone who's been known to backstab his suppliers and others.

They probably don't want him in the league because he'd spend money like crazy and make the rest of them look bad.

Trump should just start his own football league. WAY more money to be had in that.

I don't think Trump spends as much money as he tries to looks like spends.

He would be more like Al Davis, suing the league and other owners all the time to try to get his way.

Off topic, but I'd love to see Mark Cuban own an NFL franchise.

Put a young guy in there instead of all the silver-spooned assholes who never have anything interesting to say.

He does realize all cash is not the same thing as having a check ready in one hour...

Cuban couldn't crack into the MLB "Good 'Ol Boys Club."

He's gonna have to make do with what he's got. Don't think any sport is going to approve him as a new owner.

Well cave, the owners are already in line with your suggestion, so I guess I'll go with what Cochise said.

I have a list of people I would like to see put on a plane and then that plane flown into the side of a mountain:

Any and all Kardashians
Paris Hilton
Donald Trump
Lebron James
John Elway
Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber (Still convinced they're the same person)
Dr. Phil

I get pretty fucking annoyed at anyone who constantly talks just to hear their own voice. Trump is a blowhard and I wish he would contract EbolaAIDS.

Yep-check out the DVD about his golf course in Scotland-made tons of promises, screwed over the residents and ruined a nature preserve. Trump is a DBAG of the highest order.

This.

And even if he were serious, theres no bank on earth that would loan him the money, he's already defaulted on several massive loans at banks around the world.

He is human puke, he needs to die already.

I saw it too. I know you're joking but you're pretty spot on in that he could get the $ easily by going liquid with some of his assets. He owns TONS of property outright that could be sold to get cash if need be. Those who think he doesnt have the means are wrong.

My personal opinion is he's just talking **** and would be bad for the NFL. But he could definitely buy the team if he were serious.

He could raise the money by selling assets alone. He wouldnt need a loan. Do a search on properties he owns outright, just in this country, and have a calculator handy. You'll see...
